The official HOP juggling "I just learnt a new move" thread

dunno mate, i got the same problem.

got 4c half shower yesterday, in double/singles. Its sooo much easier than tripple singles!

not so hard but also managed to go from 4c fountain, put on between the legs to go to 3c cc then back to four clubs fountain again, and threw iba a 53 just for good mesure!

chuffed I am!

Lemonkey - Try holding the club near the knob end and throwing up slightly sloping the club downhill. I find once it starts to head back towards you things go wrong.

I've learnt 423 and441 in flats. 423 really helps.

Ive hurt me back

no more juggling for a day or two

T

gutted nx, you'll probably be better for a break!

still haven't got anything new, i'm banned from juggling in the house and its raining and i'ms just generally rubbish

14 catches 5b wehey!!
clean 4 ball snake

4b snake? cool man, thats rock hard.

T

Hey yo word.

I'm a juggler and I'm 'at' here.

At Spitz I actually juggled all night and got;

3cbx into flats strait back into bx

534 with clubs run through about 4 times which is better than usual

5551 on triples caught solid, just about once with the 1 behind the back.

I want to do something with over the head throws, like go strait into something interesting but they dont seem to lead anyway. Any ideas?

Also had a look at these 4c flats that keep being mentioned up here. No idea though, they blimin hard. Tried some 423 on flats to start me off

YOOOO JOHNNY

dunno if i should have called it snake or not... they all follow each other around but i think 4b snake would start with 4 in one hand? like a seven ball practice? what i mean is starting with 3 in one hand then its 2 balls one after the other from each hand, like a practice for 5b... looks like a snake to me tho and i'm chuffed i've got it clean.
i can't find a 5th ball at the mo so i'm practicing crossing patterns with 4.
also started playing with 651 but with 3 balls (only just realised its 4b now i've written it down) but couldn't get it to run symettrical - probably because of not having 4th ball... so if i put a 3 at the start that would make it a 3 ball pattern? siteswap still confuses me... anyhows, i can feel juggling coming back to me (although i have just got some new double contact staffs, mmm, double fishtails)

speaking of siteswap, i hear there's quite a good dvd on it that's actually available to buy...

cole. x

ahh, thought you ment contact juggling snake...

T

i wish, but will give it a go when i find my other 3 balls, they've dissapeared somewhere!!
your back still bad then? you haven't posted any ridiculous new moves for a while...

Blimey.

Site swap DVD is bit ludicrous.

5p31 with 44p1 on either side is pretty mad. Would like to try it. I bet it could be done in a triangle as well. Amazing stuff. So much numbers for you mR COle

Also hey yo' word Willy and Tom and rock on

no, its much better

had a nice session today, outside!

mainly just impressing myself with how solid things are compared to a few weeks ago, so had loads of good 4c runs, and learnt to transition from 4c singles to half shower, tho not back again gotta leave something for tomoro

not quite so impressed with my 4c sync stuff.... but i hammered it a bit today, should get better soon.

3 3c bx starting with the left hand... man why are thease things so slow to learn??? I swear its been 2 years since i first did a backcross... and my record is still 4.

other news, big long 5b run, a huge truck went by half way though and blew its airhorns, and i dint drop! woot!

beer now, tv, ahhhh

Kris Kremo tomoro!

right probably first time ive posted in this thread. but i also had a good juggle earlier today. played iwth my clubs for the first time in ages...

tried something other than the wall plane shower which is getting there slowly...
mills mess seems to be working now
as dose 441 and chops
nearly getting 531 aswell, want to get it so the 5 and 3 are both singles but ive got a feeling thats really hard.
so yea loads of tricks i didnt know i could do and can its good

wooohoooo! oli gets juggling!!!!!

*runs off to start practicing poi again while he's disrtacted*

T

531 with the 3 and the 1 btb...

4444445344444 in singles.

T

14 catches of 5b mills mess! I realised you had to increase the speed with which you move your arms. I was initially keeping the same speed as my 5b reverse cascade, but soon realised you have to increase the speed slightly which means you have to be quick and accurate. I reckon I'll have it solid in... 4 months.

Two runs of 20 catches with 7 balls! Smashing my old PB of 16!

For four months I haven't been able to beat my record of 6 catches on clubs continous behind the back on singles. And today I doubled it to 12 catches. I even had time to mutter "Oh my god!" before dropping

barstart.

the day i get 6 catches im gonna mutter more than 'oh my god!'

T

i learnt how to work out siteswaps today...
my uni lectures will never be boring again.
next i have to learn how to juggle....

Sigh. Everything is getting significantly harder these days. Today I decided to have a go at 534 with clubs, which I haven't done for ages. I nailed two rounds and back into the pattern, first time. Then I managed it a few more times, and a run of four rounds. Thens suddenly I couldn't even manage the first bloody triple of the siteswap. I kept trying but I constantly did a 2.5 which pissed me off.

And 5 clubs is going nowhere! At least I can catch 4/5 clubs these days, instead of 1 and four drops.

I started learning the 4 club flats of which much talk there has been. I managed to flash it once out of 4c singles and then back into 4c singles, which was most pleasing.

I think the best way to learn it is to have done flats for hours and hours with 3 clubs, which is what I did, then go strait for it out of 4c singles on fountains

4 club doubles sync into a flash of 4 club splits and back into the fountain.

I'll be honest no idea of the siteswap or the name but it is continuous mulitplexes with 5 balls.

2 balls thrown which split to land 1 in each hand. am toying with puting orbits into this too

4 ball shower 16 catches

4 abll shower, plex, shower.

T

3 balls in 1 hand 9 catches wooo
